We Have Implemented Many Great Ideas In Lagos – Gov Sanwo-olu

Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday charged members of his cabinet and Lagos State Government officials to brace up for optimum performance.

Sanwo-Olu Gave The Charge During The Closing Of The Two-Day Ministerial Performance Review Retreat Organised By The Executive Arm Of The Lagos State Government.

He urged them to deploy their physical and mental resources to bringing the administration’s development vision to reality.

According to him, Lagos possesses all that is required to attain Dubai development model.

He then urged the drivers of his administration’s vision of Greater Lagos to be articulate and purposeful in the discharge of the tasks assigned to them.

Sanwo-Olu commended the cabinet members and heads of the state government’s agencies for the progress recorded in the last one year.

He, however, said that people’s expectations of the administration’s efforts were more than what had been achieved so far, hence, the need to brace for more work.

The governor urged the cabinet members and executives of the parastatals to deploy more resourcefulness to the implementation of policies and programmes designed to transform the lives of the residents and the state’s economy.

”There are many takeaways from this two-day retreat which must energise us further to deliver on our goals and promises to the people.
”But, one key thing we must take away from this exercise is the fact that we have sustained our attempts to transform Lagos and these efforts are being acknowledged by those who understand what development is all about.
”We have many great actions and ideas we have implemented, which probably have not been properly communicated. Now we need to be smarter, more organised and articulate in the way we go about our programmes, so that our efforts can be more visible.
”The Ministry of Information and Strategy and everyone that has strength in communication should begin to magnify these efforts and show the world how Lagos is changing,” he said.

The governor said that in spite the slow pace of socio-economic activities across all sectors, which was occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic, his administration would not give excuses to residents.

According to him, the virus would not derail his government’s development agenda.

Sanwo-Olu charged all commissioners and special advisers to work together and exchange information for better service delivery.
